COmpression good - need source for stock injectors

Pulled injectors (with tool in sticky!) Compression was 375 +/- 20 at 180K miles.
I don't understand the numbers on injectors I pulled so I don't know if they are stock
This will be a daily driver. Don't need more power, just good fuel economy stock injectors should be fine.
Called dealer and he gave me p/n R4638651 They are reman, but he coudn't tell me what brand!!
What is reliable source for stock injectors? is that NA7x (reman).
Thanks

why did you pull the injectors? you can go to a injection shop to have them checked, or rebuilt, pop testing will correct imbalance

This was purchased as a project. If engine compression was good, I would fix 'er up and drive it.
Anyone, source for stock injectors?

If I were going to replace them, I would put in a set of DDP2's, not only a bit better power, but better mileage as well.

If you want stock, I would have your old injectors cleaned/pop tested and balanced, no reason to buy a new set at all.

Thanks for the replies.
The nearest fuel injection shop is over 3 hours away. I live in the "boonies". Thought it would be easier to just buy new or reman.
The local parts stores have Borg Warner or GP Sorensen injectors - are these are good?
Berry Dodge in Texas has injectors for $92 each
Patdaly, I'll check out the DDP2's - I do want better mileage. I drive about 35 to 40K per year.
Thanks

ddps are generally known as a marine style injector. If you are going to buy new, do some research with some other brands, and spray angles.

Rebuilding what is in the truck would be your cheapest option.

Mileage has a lot to do with tune and driving style, maybe moreso than injector condition. I noticed minimal mileage increases when I put a new set. Also got my stockers rebuilt and didnt have a mpg increase like a lot of people claim.

I had my stock injectors rebuilt at 300000 kms, whatever that is in miles. The weren't spraying too **** hot, the pop pressures were low and the mid plate was worn.

I think you'd see an increase over the used ones IF they were worrn out enough to where they are sticking. If they stick believe me, they will murder mpg. If you arent going to need the truck for a little bit, you can set something up with the injection shop and mail the injectors to them for testing. Average rebuild cost per injector was about average $60-70 from the places I priced. Got mine done for $30ea, but afterwards I found out the place had kind of a bad rep lol. They worked fine though. I was just needing a spare set to use until I could get my sdx injectors(which work even better).

Thanks guys,
I did call two shops. The cheapest was $88 a piece to rebuild.
Berry Dodge price $92.10 each. P/N R4638651, but again they did not know who rebuilds them. Have Mopar label.
I'd like to know who reman's them.

The injectorwarehouse has reman's for $50. I haven't called them - anyone if they are okay?

What are Stage 1 injectors?
Thanks

I've never done any business with OFI so youre on your own there.

I have done business with H&H diesel in tacoma. They rebuilt my pump did a great job. I'll be there on mon or tues to get some parts.

IIRC back in 07 they sold new VE injectors and like a fool I didnt buy any

Thanks Bobva for the leads.
I found a good website diesel.org which is the website for ADS Association of Diesel Specialists.
I think I trust any shop on this list. After calling cummins NW and Oregon Fuel Injection, decided to go with Oregon for the injectors and the pump.
Cheers
